Complaint Review: Harvest Capital

Harvest Capital Ripoff seems to be either Non-Responsive or Non-existent Houston Texas

In June 2004 I applied for a prepaid Mastercard from Harvest Capital. At the time the address to send the $30 money order (the only cost involved)was Canada. They have in the last 2 1/2 to 3 months changed it to an American address. I know when I checked in August, it was still a Canadian address.

I never received a card, nor any information on my $30 money order. It is now about to be December 2004. I have e-mailed the service address provided on their site and still no answer. I would call but have not been able to locate a number. I figured being a Canadian address it would take some time, but I believe 6 months is ample time for anyone. Bottom line, these people are either in over their head, very unorganized, or in very ORGANIZED crime.

Thankfully I saw all of the warning signs of a scam on the website itself (ie: lack of contact number, lack of credible links, lack of specific contact information, money order as sole method of payment, no response from multiple email inquiries)

For the record, Harvest Capital Management, which is the company that was sued in Cyprus, isn't the same company... mainly because this particular Harvest Capital doesn't actually exist. Harvest Capital Management is an actual financial institution with their own problems and issues, and their overseas problems are standard investment fare.

I sincerely dont believe the woman above actually 'recieved' her card. If so, she's much more trusting than I am, cause I have no intention of sending secured money through the mail.

This little company, if it exists? where?, if you
simply do a google search, you will see that they
have been in court in cypus, and elswhere?
www.xak.com/main/newsshow.asp?id=27053
they are in united kingdom too!
www.creditsolveuk.com/harvestprepaidaccount.htm

but the good news is, they seem to exist?

I'm awaiting for you know what too.

they allso have a site with both canada
and america addresses.
http://harvestcapital.ca/
see the two flags?

i wanted an american card in am dollars
for my ebay biz.

guess i'm out $30 U.S. which i dumbly sent
them.

the real issue, is that we didn't do our
homework before sending the money.

there are lots of other places online who
will accept your money online.

for a prepaid. simply enter "prepaid
credit card" in google.

This company may come through yet, but if not?

we lives, we learns!

offer both master and visa at the above site.

i do not have a phone, the number was
once correct.

I got my card. They said about 4 weeks and it took 5. But I still got it and I'm happy now. :)

I have had an identical experience the difference being that I live in Canada and have waited two months. I paid via money order, went through the process of tracking the deposit of the money order with Canada Post, and have found that the cheque was cashed in Canada at the Bank of Montreal (Toronto Data Centre). I'm willing to give Harvest Capital the benefit of the doubt but I have yet to receive any reply to my emails.

I applied for a Harvest Capital credit card in October 04. They said it would take 3-4 weeks for delivery, its now been almost 2 months and no one will respond to any of my emails. I sent a $30.00 Canadian money order to Windsor Ontario, and i havent been able to find a phone number to contact them.
